Experience Good Coffee Podcast

Grab your favourite mug and settle in—this week’s CLO Club catch-up is brewed to perfection with our brand-new Easter Blend (equally glorious as a silky flat white or a crisp filter, depending on your vibe). Nick’s been doing some light reading… and by light, we mean existential. He walks us through the unmistakable signs you might be getting older—though the timing is impeccable, given his totally unrelated recent foray into hair dye. We’re saying nothing. (We’re saying everything.) Meanwhile, Dave steps onto the red carpet to give us his take on this year’s Oscars—snubs, surprises, and whether anyone actually saw all the Best Picture nominees. Josh brings the music fresh from his latest gig, plus over-the-top excitement about a band no one can remember the name of coming to Leeds this summer. Tom rounds things off with a dive into the latest sporting controversy—because what’s sport without a bit of drama? Although 2 months later is probably a bit late to go changing your mind about the tournament rules. And of course, it wouldn’t be a CLO Club chat without plenty of tangents, questionable detours, half-finished stories, and laughs that go on just a bit too long. Good coffee. Good chat. Mild chaos. Just how we like it.

It’s nearly Friday, and this week on CLO Club Live we’re pressing pause — literally. Over a much-needed midweek cup of coffee, we chat about the art of slowing down in the middle of a busy week. Not quitting. Not spiralling. Just taking a breath, reclaiming five minutes, and remembering we’re humans, not productivity machines. Naturally, we then pivot to the important stuff. Fashion first: are quarter-zips officially dad-wear? Have they crossed into cool? Or are we all just one fleece away from becoming our fathers? We unpack the rise of “dad fashion,” comfort-core, and whether we’re resisting it or fully leaning in. Then it’s onto middle-class car buying trends — because nothing says grown-up like discussing BMWs vs Volvos and the ‘TEMU’ Range Rover! And of course, we debrief the cultural moments of the week: The iconic chaos and sparkle of the Brit Awards — where Olivia Dean reigned supreme (she’s the queen, and that’s final). Plus the glamour and gravitas of the BAFTAs — red carpet hits, cinematic brilliance, and our completely unqualified but passionate takes. It’s reflective. It’s lightly chaotic. It’s culturally informed (ish). And it’s all wrapped up in the warm, familiar energy of friends catching up midweek before the final push to Friday. Pop the kettle on. Take a breath. Come sit with us.

We hit pause on the chaos of Wednesday mornings to do what we do best on CLO Club Live: grab a coffee and catch up. This week, Nick dives into his latest reading rabbit holes, from the sneaky realities of shrinkflation to the sacred art of early-morning routines (yes, coffee plays a starring role). Dave comes through with fresh film recommendations to add straight to your watchlist, while Josh, Tom and Nick share the music they’ve had on repeat lately — perfect for upgrading your commute or workday soundtrack. And just when you thought it couldn’t get sweeter, we bring back a fan favourite: strawberry coffee, returning from last summer just in time for Valentine’s Day. Consider this episode your midweek reset — relaxed, recommendation-filled, and best enjoyed with a warm mug in hand.

This week on CLO Club Live, we press pause on a hectic schedule, pull up some chairs, and catch up the best way we know how — over coffee. It’s a laid-back, free-flowing chat that wanders from cup to culture and everywhere in between. We kick things off deep in coffee territory, talking Guatemala beans, brewing methods, and what makes a really good cup worth slowing down for. From there, the conversation takes a thoughtful turn as we ask the big question: is the vegan revolution losing steam, or just evolving? Expect honest takes, a few tangents, and plenty of curiosity. Things get practical in the kitchen as we swap notes on foods you can and can’t freeze (some of these might surprise you), before diving headfirst into arts and entertainment. Dave shares his top film picks, including Hamnet, while Josh and Tom round things off with music recommendations to soundtrack your week — with a special shoutout to Buffalo Traffic Jam. Unfiltered, unhurried, and full of the kind of conversation that happens when you take a moment to breathe — this episode is less about agendas and more about enjoying the chat.

CLO Club Live is back! After a summer of slinging espressos and flat whites at festivals up and down the UK, we’re back behind the mics—and we’ve brought plenty to chat about. We’re kicking things off with something exciting—our brand-new coffee blend, Jacob’s Well. It’s bold, full-bodied, and packed with nutty flavours, the perfect brew to sip while you listen in. Nick has returned with more of his trademark articles, this time trying to convince us that cassettes are making a comeback (we’ll let you decide if he’s right). Dave is putting our film knowledge to the test with a quiz, while Josh and Tom bring fresh music and gig recommendations to keep your playlists buzzing. And, of course, there’s plenty to celebrate: Josh has just turned 18, and Tom is newly engaged! So take a moment in your busy week, pour yourself a coffee, and join us at the CLO Club—it’s good to be back. Need a coffee whilst you listen? Order now at clocoffee.com

This week, we dive into the do's and don’ts of morning routines—spoiler alert: hitting snooze and skipping breakfast might land you in the don’t column. We also say a nostalgic farewell to Wimbledon’s line judges, replaced by the all-seeing eye of Hawkeye… but can tech really be trusted to call the shots?

Dave takes us to the movies with a breakdown of “28 Years Later”, and the vibes are apocalyptic in the best way. Plus, we take a peek at what’s coming up at Glastonbury, and yes, there are plenty of tangents, anecdotes, and general podcast mayhem.

In this week’s episode of CLO Club Live, Nick & Dave kick things off with a blast from the past, channeling their inner Alas Smith and Jones in a sketch that’s either comedy gold or a very enthusiastic cry for help—jury’s still out. We dive into our caffeine-fueled recap of the London Coffee Festival, where the team sampled brews, spotted trends, and decided that doughnuts are definitely the answer to everything from now on. From espresso highs to pastry delights, it’s all here. Nick’s articles return with a triple-shot of hot takes: dark chocolate biscuits (elite snack or just fancy cardboard?), Teslas (are they still cool?), and the world’s most inappropriate flight abbreviations (seriously, who approved these?). In this week’s Roastery Recommends, Dave dons his usual film critic hat (and scarf?) to review the latest movies you may or may not have heard of, while Josh & Tom spill the beans on what’s currently spinning on their playlists—no surprises it’s more guitar bands. All that plus more in our usual weekly coffee catch-up: a pause for good coffee, good company, and a few too many off-topic tangents (because what’s a podcast without those?).

It was anything but a regular episode of the CLO Club Live podcast this time (if we have such thing as regular?!). With no Nick in the house (which meant no deep dives into articles this week — we know, we know), the vibe was suitably spontaneous, and delightfully chaotic in all the right ways. But who needs Nick when you’ve got Rafi the dog making guest appearances and a surprise cameo from the delivery man? We’re talking unfiltered podcast gold here. In lieu of academia, we stirred things up with a latte art competition, naturally. Now latte art being typically a visual thing you may want to check out Instagram to judge for yourself, but see if you can work out the winner audibly first! Of course, we couldn’t resist singing the praises of the ever-popular Solomon’s Porch blend — warm, rich, and absolutely the reason some of us show up. We unpacked why it’s so beloved, both by us and the wider CLO club. As always, Dave delivered his signature film chat, while Josh and Tom kept the vibes going strong with their music talk, covering everything from soul-stirring tracks, the latest gigs, and must-watch (or must-not!) films. And in a moment of regional pride, we made sure to raise a mug to Leeds — Champions! A well-earned shoutout that got us all briefly distracted by the football - who’d have though eh? #ALAW #MOT In short: no script, lots of laughs, and just the right amount of coffee-fuelled chaos. Same time next week? Hit the pause button and have a coffee with us! Need a coffee whilst you listen? Order now at clocoffee.com

This week on CLO Club Live, we’re embracing the art of slowing down. With the week in full swing and everyone buzzing around, we took a collective pause to do what we do best—share a coffee and a good chat. There’s something special about carving out that little moment of calm, and we made the most of it with laughs, stories, and great coffee. The sunshine showed up too, and we’re definitely not mad about it. With the sun out, the knees followed suit, and the good vibes were flowing as we soaked up some well-earned warmth and talked about all the things that make life that little bit sweeter. For the coffee lovers among us (even Dave?!), we dove into the world of V60 filter brewing—what it is, why it’s magic, and how to master it without needing a science degree or a hipster apron. Of course, it wouldn’t be CLO Club without a few tangents. We took a detour into the wild world of marketing blunders—those cringe-worthy moments where brand meets disaster—and had a good laugh over what not to say when trying to sell something. As always, Tom brought us up to speed with his latest gig reviews, Dave gave us his signature lowdown on what’s worth watching, and Bess makes a guest appearance! All in all, it was another episode filled with community, connection, and the kind of coffee-fuelled joy that makes even the busiest week feel a little lighter.

This week on CLO Club LIVE, we’re hitting pause, grabbing our coffee, and diving headfirst into another round up of the week! Dave’s been perfecting his latte art—but is he painting masterpieces or just making milky messes? Meanwhile, we tackle one of life’s biggest questions: does your dog actually love you, or are you just their snack dispenser? Ever wondered about the economics of marshmallows? No? Well, too bad—we’re taking a lightning-fast tour through the world of cakes, biscuits, and unexpected financial wisdom. Plus, is robusta coffee about to stage a global takeover? We investigate whether these beans are brewing up a revolution on the coffee scene. Music fans, rejoice! Josh is here with his Wombats gig review, giving us the lowdown on their latest show. And for movie lovers, Dave’s got fresh recommendations—including a surprising new entry in the top five highest-grossing films of all time.

Someone has put him to the test! Tom’s also got the team talking about sports, bringing an article of his own for a change! Which leads us to ask: Have you ever been mistaken for a sports star or celebrity? (Spoiler: Dave is in fact famous…he just doesn’t know it yet!). And, of course, the never-ending debate rages on… what’s the ultimate bedtime snack combo? Biscuit + drink = perfection… but which ones? And is it dunk-able!? Expect all the usual chaos—dodgy sound, sketchy internet, and five people in two different places just trying to take a moment to slow down, sip some great coffee, and have a laugh. Join us!

In this episode, we’re hitting pause, and chatting over some excellent filter coffee — though, fair warning, it's a bit chaotic!
